So close no matter how far. It couldn't be much more from the heart. Forever trusting who we are. And nothing else matters.

there used to be ostensibly left-of-center people who would argue with you if you tried to point out that the world's richest man is very clearly also one of its dumbest

Now that @riffmagazine.com’s site is back (at great expense) after the old server decided it was never going to serve ever again, celebrate by reading my Tuesday Tracks that nobody saw because the site didn’t exist for most of that week.

This is excellent, all true and all really well-said. When I was in college I’d sit in on Angela Davis’ classes. One thing she said that stuck with me was that part of the fight is joy, stepping back for a bit to remind yourself what you’re fighting for. But always remember that’s part of a fight.

This is all very good and true in my experience, but one thing that Masnick alludes to but doesn’t explicitly say is that nearly all the complaints boil down to “the people I want to yell at can’t hear me.” Which is an objectively weird thing to demand!

So does that make him an… Outlaw of Gor?

Et tu, Senator Warren? Preemptive strikes on Iran are not a distraction from Gaza! Gaza is not a distraction from starting a war with Iran! They're two bad things happening at the same time that both deserve attention and action.

"The problem is that if Harris won you would…" is the "The founding fathers would have…" of the all talk contrarian socialist crowd. You know the types, the ones who have meetings and talk a big game and incessantly complain and criticize but never actually take steps to work toward anything.

Honestly, I think the problem is that we are going to war with Iran in the universe we inhabit rather than any potential wars in an alternate timeline.

All you weirdos who have opinions on the right way to transition need to just let people be. No part of transitioning—including hormones, including surgery—is anyone's business! No aspect of it is unusual and it's all uncontroversial… unless it involves changing (But not reinforcing!) gender.

Man, dude hit the nail on the head. This is well said.

Shoutout to @flavorflav.bsky.social and @chuckdpe.bsky.social not just for still making excellent protest music but for helping to shepherd a much-needed new generation of activist musicians with mentorship and publicity.

anyone who brings up another country and foreign policy in an election for who gets to decide on things like bus fares and trash collection for a city is a fundamentally unserious person who you can safely ignore on all things politics

William Gaines (and Al Feldstein) literally yelled "FUCK YOU!" into the phone Charles Murphy, hung up on his ass, and ran this as-is. The Comics Code Authority had no stated rules regarding this content, but tried to block it anyway, which is all you need to know about how the CCA was implemented.

Hey-ooooooo.

THEY HAVE THE SAME FACE HOW DID I MISS THAT

The good news is that, for possibly the first time in my life, my shirt and shoes are coordinated. The bad news is this is the shirt and shoes.

Sigh. This is clickbait. There's no data breach. The underlying number is just a round up of datasets some security company found on the dark web, probably going back years. Nothing new has occurred.

AOC played ball and did everything Pelosi told her and was rewarded by being passed over for a 75-year-old who died four months later. There have now been four House votes this year where Dems lost by the margin of members who died in office. No one has more right to say this than her

Prophets Of Rage

You’re not gonna believe this, but both @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov voted for Trump’s crypto bill, legalizing his latest and probably biggest source of grift. Great job, guys. Way to look out for your constituents.

Nowhere does it mention that their no weapons policy apparently doesn't include the armed but apparently poorly-trained security they brought in. (No, military service is not training for security. The military teaches you to shoot threats.)

White people need a Juneteenth tradition that lampshades that it's not for us, like Jewish people having Chinese food on Christmas. It'll help us not colonize it like we did with Pride

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Technically before a static fire test, they hadn’t turned on the engine yet. Which is so very funny.

Starship is the Cybertruck of space.

One of the beautiful things about Bluesky is that this is exactly what your Following feed shows you: every post from every person you follow, in reverse chronological order

Weird how this is exactly what everyone said she’d do, and in fact what she promised to do, and @kaine.senate.gov is like “If I knew literally everyone including Noem was right I wouldn’t have done the dumb thing they warned me was dumb!”

Do coyotes get this tall? It’s got a coyote head and @ashmcgonigal.com seems confident, but I’ve never seen a coyote this tall.
